What's behind our juicer Ratings?

Experts at our National Testing and Research Center tested 11 models in juicers to see which ones perform best.
We look for:
  • Overall score
    Based on performance: how well each one juiced oranges, apples, carrots, tomatoes as well as convenience. How noisy the juicer was.
  • Juice performance
    This is based on the amount of juice each juicer produced from a given starting weight for apples, oranges, carrots, and tomatoes.
  • Convenience
    How easy each juicer was to use, assemble and disassemble, and clean.
  • Noise
    Based on readings from a noise meter, specifies how noisy the juice was during operation using the maximum speed.
